Question on Snap-on pliers organizer

Farmall450 · Mar 24, 2014

I could only find one on the site, a 30 incher I assume.

http://store.snapon.com/Non-Catalog-Items-PLIERS-ORGANIZER-P9704724.aspx

No info on there* either, I was wondering if it's shallow enough to fit in a US general drawer. I need to go measure how wide the drawer is too, but do you all use snappy organizers?

Yes, I noticed that?

Isn't it made by Plyworx?

The "PliersRack" is 30 inches long and holds 32 pliers in a drawer that is only 2 1/2 inches deep

Probably help if you state which box, and then which drawer you want to put it in.

That's exactly what it is, my driver has one on his truck.

I see I forgot to put that. US general 44", in one of the drawers on the left.

I was wondering if they offered more, I was having site issues.
Thanks!

I see the drawer is only 23" long, I guess I could cut it to size?

jim1987 · Mar 28, 2014

How about making your own in that thread that got revived? 3' metal ruler, 10" 3/8 bolt, washers for spacing, and a nut to keep it all together. 100% customizable.

I saw on here it's easy to just buy wire shelving from Lowes, snip it in half and paint it black. Same material as what is sold by Snap On, just doesn't have the 'hump' at the low end. No complaints from getting 6ft for $7.

Sorry, messy picture from the shop. Works great, and fits fine in the shallowest drawer in my HF cart.

That's what I did too. Mad my own from shower racks from big lots. Chrome don't get ya home...............

I bought the "heavy duty" shelf, it was shorter than the standard stuff so I was able to put it over the edge of my bench and bend that hump into it. I did have to sawzall a cross bar out of it, but that was easy.

Nicely done sir. I might have to give that a shot when I get a bigger box.

I don't like the looks.

I may have to look for some!

The hump in the middle?

Same here.

I used the shower caddies because they are very cheap and small enough to fit in cart drawers with no mods and I stumbled on them with the wife at big lots lol

I tried that wrack and found out real quick id have to use 4 drawers for pliers. Gave it to a friend. I just pile like pliers on each other. Kinda like screw divers way to many to organize. Those are the only two drawers that are not nice and neat but iys no big deal still easy to find what u need

If you look towards the business end of the pliers in my picture there is an upside down "V" shape bent into it. That "hump" makes it closer to the design of the SO one mentioned early in the thread.

My pliers still lean a little bit like that, so I may end up trying that ruler/rod/nuts thing mentioned in the other thread.

I see, whereas the SO restrains/keeps it upright.

The spacing on the Snap-On racks is the same as the shelving. Smaller, skinny pliers are going to lean. I double up in some of the slots (snap ring pliers, small needle nose, etc.) and they have enough space to fit both and still be able to remove the pliers without them getting caught on each other.
